After almost two months of space, reflection, and quiet intention, a new season begins.
In this first episode of 2026, Tera introduces Becoming — a year-long exploration of identity across generations. What does it mean to become who you are as a child navigating ADHD? What does it mean to become who you’re meant to be as a woman rediscovering herself later in life?
This season is not about fixing.
It’s not about optimizing.
It’s not about performing.
It’s about becoming.
In this episode, Tera shares:
• Why she intentionally stepped back before starting 2026
• The difference between reinvention and revelation
• Why some creative ideas feel electric in theory but heavy in practice
• Letting go of what no longer fits (including the weekly photo pressure)
• Why songs — not hats — will anchor the emotional tone this year
• And what it means to evolve without abandoning yourself
As someone who loves creativity and momentum, Tera opens up about the tension between inspiration and sustainability — and why noticing that tension is growth, not failure.
The Song of the Episode is The Story by Brandi Carlile — a reminder that who we become is shaped by where we’ve been.
This year, each month will hold two conversations:
One speaking directly to the ADHD child.
One speaking to the woman rediscovering herself.
And each quarter, a conversation about becoming lighter — in our homes, in our habits, and in what we choose to carry forward.
We are not starting over.
We are becoming.
